Definitions
- This application relates to the technical field of battery manufacturing, and in particular, to a coating deviation correction method and apparatus.
- the production process of batteries is relatively complex, involving a plurality of procedures.
- a coating procedure is an indispensable part, and the influence of the coating procedure on battery performance is crucial.
- Embodiments of this application provide a coating deviation correction method and apparatus, capable of effectively improving battery performance.
- a coating deviation correction method includes: acquiring a first distance and a second distance, where the first distance is a distance from an edge of a coating region on a first surface of an electrode plate substrate to a reference edge, and the second distance is a distance from an edge of a coating region on a second surface of the electrode plate substrate to the reference edge; and determining a target deviation correction amount in a coating process based on the first distance, the second distance, and at least one preset deviation correction amount.
- the distances from the edges of the coating regions on the two corresponding surfaces of the electrode plate substrate to the reference edge can be acquired to determine a coating misalignment size between the two corresponding surfaces, and then the target deviation correction amount in the coating process is determined based on the preset deviation correction amount, so that the target deviation correction amount is determined with high efficiency and accuracy.
- Deviation correction is performed based on the target deviation correction amount, so that the coating misalignment size between the two corresponding surfaces falls within a specification range, thereby effectively improving battery performance.
- the determining a target deviation correction amount in a coating process based on the first distance, the second distance, and the at least one preset deviation correction amount includes: determining a first misalignment value set based on the first distance and the second distance, where the first misalignment value set includes, in a width direction of the electrode plate substrate, at least one first misalignment value between an edge of a coating region on the first surface and an edge of a coating region on the corresponding second surface; and determining the target deviation correction amount based on the first misalignment value and the at least one preset deviation correction amount.
- determining the misalignment value between the two corresponding surfaces based on the first distance and the second distance is simple to implement and effectively reduces implementation complexity. Furthermore, determining a target deviation correction amount based on the misalignment value between the two corresponding surfaces and a preset deviation correction amount enables determination of the target deviation correction amount with higher efficiency and accuracy. Performing deviation correction based on the target deviation correction amount ensures that the coating misalignment size between the two corresponding surfaces falls within a specification range, thereby effectively improving the battery performance.
- the determining the target deviation correction amount based on the first misalignment value and the at least one preset deviation correction amount includes: performing initial deviation correction on the first misalignment value sequentially using the at least one preset deviation correction amount to obtain at least one second misalignment value set, where each of the at least one second misalignment value set is a misalignment value set obtained after performing initial deviation correction on the first misalignment value using a same preset deviation correction amount, and the number of the at least one second misalignment value set is equal to the number of the at least one preset deviation correction amount; and determining the target deviation correction amount based on the at least one second misalignment value set, the at least one preset deviation correction amount, and the first misalignment value.
- initial deviation correction is first performed on the misalignment value between the two corresponding surfaces using the preset deviation correction amount and then a final target deviation correction amount is determined based on a result of the initial deviation correction. This helps to eliminate inappropriate preset deviation correction amounts, reducing a computational effort required to determine the target deviation correction amount and thus improving the efficiency of determining the target deviation correction amount and performing deviation correction.
- each of the at least one second misalignment value set includes at least one second misalignment value
- determining the target deviation correction amount based on the at least one second misalignment value set, the at least one preset deviation correction amount, and the first misalignment value includes: selecting a second misalignment value with a maximum absolute value from each of the at least one second misalignment value set; determining a second target misalignment value, where the second target misalignment value is a misalignment value less than a first target misalignment value among at least one second misalignment value with a maximum absolute value, and the first target misalignment value is a misalignment value with a maximum absolute value in the first misalignment value set; and determining the target deviation correction amount based on a first preset deviation correction amount among the at least one preset deviation correction amount, where the first preset deviation correction amount includes a preset deviation correction amount corresponding to the second target misalignment value.
- a misalignment value with an absolute value less than the misalignment value before deviation correction is selected from misalignment values after initial deviation correction and a target deviation correction amount is determined based on a deviation correction amount corresponding to the selected misalignment value, that is, an inappropriate deviation correction amount is abandoned.
- This not only reduces a possibility of increasing deviation but also potentially reduces the number of appropriate deviation correction amounts selected compared to an initially preset number, thereby effectively reducing time for determining the target deviation correction amount and improving the efficiency.
- determining the target deviation correction amount based on a first preset deviation correction amount among the at least one preset deviation correction amount includes: selecting, from the second misalignment value set, a misalignment value set obtained after performing initial deviation correction on the first misalignment value using the first preset deviation correction amount to obtain at least one second target misalignment value set; and determining the target deviation correction amount based on second misalignment values included in each of the at least one second target misalignment value set.
- the determining the target deviation correction amount based on corrected misalignment values obtained after performing initial deviation correction on the misalignment value between the two surfaces using an appropriate deviation correction amount significantly improves accuracy of the determined target deviation correction amount.

- a preset deviation correction amount corresponding to a sum of misalignment values with a minimum absolute value among the sums of misalignment values is determined as a target deviation correction amount, allowing for high accuracy of the determined target deviation correction amount, and achieving a better effect after deviation correction performed based on the target deviation correction amount, thereby further improving the battery performance.

Abstract
Description
- This application claims priority to
and entitled "COATING DEVIATION CORRECTION METHOD AND APPARATUS", which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.Chinese Patent Application No. 202310985460.3, filed on August 7, 2023 - This application relates to the technical field of battery manufacturing, and in particular, to a coating deviation correction method and apparatus.
- Energy conservation and emission reduction are crucial to the sustainable development of the automobile industry. In this context, electric vehicles, with their advantages in energy conservation and environmental protection, have become an important part of the sustainable development of the automobile industry. For electric vehicles, battery technology is an important factor in connection with their development.
- The production process of batteries is relatively complex, involving a plurality of procedures. Among these procedures, for example, a coating procedure is an indispensable part, and the influence of the coating procedure on battery performance is crucial.
- Embodiments of this application provide a coating deviation correction method and apparatus, capable of effectively improving battery performance.
- According to a first aspect, a coating deviation correction method is provided, where the method includes: acquiring a first distance and a second distance, where the first distance is a distance from an edge of a coating region on a first surface of an electrode plate substrate to a reference edge, and the second distance is a distance from an edge of a coating region on a second surface of the electrode plate substrate to the reference edge; and determining a target deviation correction amount in a coating process based on the first distance, the second distance, and at least one preset deviation correction amount.
- In this embodiment of this application, the distances from the edges of the coating regions on the two corresponding surfaces of the electrode plate substrate to the reference edge can be acquired to determine a coating misalignment size between the two corresponding surfaces, and then the target deviation correction amount in the coating process is determined based on the preset deviation correction amount, so that the target deviation correction amount is determined with high efficiency and accuracy. Deviation correction is performed based on the target deviation correction amount, so that the coating misalignment size between the two corresponding surfaces falls within a specification range, thereby effectively improving battery performance.
- In some possible implementations, the determining a target deviation correction amount in a coating process based on the first distance, the second distance, and the at least one preset deviation correction amount includes: determining a first misalignment value set based on the first distance and the second distance, where the first misalignment value set includes, in a width direction of the electrode plate substrate, at least one first misalignment value between an edge of a coating region on the first surface and an edge of a coating region on the corresponding second surface; and determining the target deviation correction amount based on the first misalignment value and the at least one preset deviation correction amount.
- In the above technical solution, determining the misalignment value between the two corresponding surfaces based on the first distance and the second distance is simple to implement and effectively reduces implementation complexity. Furthermore, determining a target deviation correction amount based on the misalignment value between the two corresponding surfaces and a preset deviation correction amount enables determination of the target deviation correction amount with higher efficiency and accuracy. Performing deviation correction based on the target deviation correction amount ensures that the coating misalignment size between the two corresponding surfaces falls within a specification range, thereby effectively improving the battery performance.
- In some possible implementations, the determining the target deviation correction amount based on the first misalignment value and the at least one preset deviation correction amount includes: performing initial deviation correction on the first misalignment value sequentially using the at least one preset deviation correction amount to obtain at least one second misalignment value set, where each of the at least one second misalignment value set is a misalignment value set obtained after performing initial deviation correction on the first misalignment value using a same preset deviation correction amount, and the number of the at least one second misalignment value set is equal to the number of the at least one preset deviation correction amount; and determining the target deviation correction amount based on the at least one second misalignment value set, the at least one preset deviation correction amount, and the first misalignment value.
- In the above technical solution, initial deviation correction is first performed on the misalignment value between the two corresponding surfaces using the preset deviation correction amount and then a final target deviation correction amount is determined based on a result of the initial deviation correction. This helps to eliminate inappropriate preset deviation correction amounts, reducing a computational effort required to determine the target deviation correction amount and thus improving the efficiency of determining the target deviation correction amount and performing deviation correction.
- In some possible implementations, each of the at least one second misalignment value set includes at least one second misalignment value, and determining the target deviation correction amount based on the at least one second misalignment value set, the at least one preset deviation correction amount, and the first misalignment value includes: selecting a second misalignment value with a maximum absolute value from each of the at least one second misalignment value set; determining a second target misalignment value, where the second target misalignment value is a misalignment value less than a first target misalignment value among at least one second misalignment value with a maximum absolute value, and the first target misalignment value is a misalignment value with a maximum absolute value in the first misalignment value set; and determining the target deviation correction amount based on a first preset deviation correction amount among the at least one preset deviation correction amount, where the first preset deviation correction amount includes a preset deviation correction amount corresponding to the second target misalignment value.
- In a deviation correction process, if an absolute value of a misalignment value after deviation correction using a certain deviation correction amount is greater than that before deviation correction, meaning that deviation increases, that deviation correction amount is inappropriate. Therefore, in the above technical solution, a misalignment value with an absolute value less than the misalignment value before deviation correction is selected from misalignment values after initial deviation correction and a target deviation correction amount is determined based on a deviation correction amount corresponding to the selected misalignment value, that is, an inappropriate deviation correction amount is abandoned. This not only reduces a possibility of increasing deviation but also potentially reduces the number of appropriate deviation correction amounts selected compared to an initially preset number, thereby effectively reducing time for determining the target deviation correction amount and improving the efficiency.
- In some possible implementations, in a case that there are a plurality of first preset deviation correction amounts, determining the target deviation correction amount based on a first preset deviation correction amount among the at least one preset deviation correction amount includes: selecting, from the second misalignment value set, a misalignment value set obtained after performing initial deviation correction on the first misalignment value using the first preset deviation correction amount to obtain at least one second target misalignment value set; and determining the target deviation correction amount based on second misalignment values included in each of the at least one second target misalignment value set.
- In the above technical solution, the determining the target deviation correction amount based on corrected misalignment values obtained after performing initial deviation correction on the misalignment value between the two surfaces using an appropriate deviation correction amount significantly improves accuracy of the determined target deviation correction amount.
- In some possible implementations, the determining the target deviation correction amount based on second misalignment values included in each of the at least one second target misalignment value set includes: adding the second misalignment values included in each second target misalignment value set to obtain at least one sum of misalignment values; and determining a first preset deviation correction amount corresponding to a sum of misalignment values with a minimum absolute value among the at least one sum of misalignment values as the target deviation correction amount.
- In the above technical solution, according to a rule that a corrected value approaches 0, meaning that a smaller sum is better, a preset deviation correction amount corresponding to a sum of misalignment values with a minimum absolute value among the sums of misalignment values is determined as a target deviation correction amount, allowing for high accuracy of the determined target deviation correction amount, and achieving a better effect after deviation correction performed based on the target deviation correction amount, thereby further improving the battery performance.
- In some possible implementations, in a case that there is one first preset deviation correction amount, determining the target deviation correction amount based on a first preset deviation correction amount among the at least one preset deviation correction amount includes: determining the first preset deviation correction amount as the target deviation correction amount.
- In the above technical solution, in the case that there is one first preset deviation correction amount, determining the first preset deviation correction amount as the target deviation correction amount not only significantly reduces computational complexity but also allows for high accuracy of the determined target deviation correction amount.
- In some possible implementations, the at least one preset deviation correction amount includes at least one of the following deviation correction amounts: -0.1 mm, 0.1 mm, -0.2 mm, 0.2 mm, -0.3 mm, 0.3 mm, -0.4 mm, 0.4 mm, -0.5 mm, and 0.5 mm.
- In the above technical solution, setting the at least one preset deviation correction amount to at least one of -0.1 mm, 0.1 mm, -0.2 mm, 0.2 mm, -0.3 mm, 0.3 mm, -0.4 mm, 0.4 mm, -0.5 mm, and 0.5 mm ensures that coating misalignment between A and B surfaces can be corrected to be within a specification range, also meets a deviation correction precision of a deviation correction mechanism, and reduces a possibility of breakage of the electrode plate substrate.

Appearance of this phrase in various locations in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It is explicitly or implicitly understood by persons skilled in the art that the embodiments described in this application may be combined with other embodiments.
- With development of new energy technologies, application fields of batteries are becoming increasingly broad. For example, a battery may serve as a main power source for an electrical device (such as a vehicle, a ship, or a spacecraft). It should be understood that the battery mentioned in embodiments of this application refers to a single physical module including one or more battery cells to provide higher voltage and capacity.
- Optionally, the battery may be a power storage battery. In terms of battery type, the battery may be a lithium-ion battery, a lithium metal battery, a lead-acid battery, a nickel-cadmium battery, a nickel-metal hydride battery, a lithium-sulfur battery, a lithium-air battery, or a sodium-ion battery, and is not specifically limited in embodiments of this application. In terms of battery scale, the battery in the embodiments of this application may be a cell or a battery cell, or may be a battery module or a battery pack. This is not specifically limited in the embodiments of this application.
- The production process of batteries is relatively complex, involving a plurality of procedures, such as a mixing procedure, a coating procedure, a rolling procedure, a die-cutting and slitting procedure, a winding procedure, an electrolyte injection procedure, and a formation procedure, where the coating procedure is an indispensable part, and the influence of the coating procedure on battery performance is crucial, and the stability, uniformity, and size of the coating all affect the final performance of the battery. of the dimensions of the coating on A and B surfaces, including a positional size, a width size, and a misalignment size between the A and B surfaces, have a significant impact on the battery performance.
- During the coating process, due to factors such as a nozzle pressure of a coating die, deviations may occur in a coating result of an electrode plate. When the misalignment amount between A and B surfaces of a coating region of the electrode plate exceeds a certain range, if the misalignment is not detected and corrected in time, the battery performance may be severely affected, significantly increasing the product defect rate and manufacturing costs.
- Based on this, an embodiment of this application proposes a coating deviation correction method, which includes acquiring a first distance and a second distance and determining a target deviation correction amount in a coating process based on the first distance, the second distance, and at least one preset deviation correction amount, where the first distance is a distance from an edge of a coating region on a first surface of an electrode plate substrate to a reference edge, and the second distance is a distance from an edge of a coating region on a second surface of the electrode plate substrate to the reference edge. In this way, by acquiring the distances from the edges of the coating regions on the two corresponding surfaces of the electrode plate substrate to the reference edge, a coating misalignment size between the two corresponding surfaces can be determined, and then a target deviation correction amount in the coating process is determined based on the preset deviation correction amount, so that the target deviation correction amount is determined with high efficiency and accuracy. Performing deviation correction based on the target deviation correction amount ensures that the coating misalignment size between the two corresponding surfaces falls within a specification range, thereby effectively improving the battery performance.

If the electrode plate substrate includes copper foil, the slurry may include carbon, silicon, or the like.
- The reference edge may be an edge of the electrode plate substrate along the length direction, and this edge may be any one of two edges or both edges. Alternatively, the reference edge may also be an edge manually set by a user.
- Optionally, manual measurement may be performed. For example, a flexible ruler is used to acquire a first distance and a second distance.

- Optionally, deviation correction may be performed on the electrode plate substrate, meaning that the target deviation correction amount is a deviation correction amount for the electrode plate substrate.
- Optionally, deviation correction may be performed on a coating die, meaning that the target deviation correction amount is a deviation correction amount for the coating die.
- In some embodiments, S120 may specifically include: determining a first misalignment value set based on the first distance and the second distance, and determining a target deviation correction amount based on a first misalignment value and at least one preset deviation correction amount. The first misalignment value set includes, in a width direction of the electrode plate substrate, at least one first misalignment value between the edge of the coating region on the first surface and the edge of the coating region on the corresponding second surface.
- In this technical solution, determining the misalignment value between the two corresponding surfaces based on the first distance and the second distance is simple to implement and effectively reduces implementation complexity. Further, the target deviation correction amount can be determined based on the misalignment value between the two corresponding surfaces and the preset deviation correction amount to determine the target deviation correction amount with high efficiency and accuracy. Performing deviation correction based on the target deviation correction amount ensures that a coating misalignment size between the two corresponding surfaces falls within a specification range, thereby effectively improving the battery performance.
- The width direction of the electrode plate substrate may also be referred to as a transverse direction (transverse direction, TD).
- There may be a plurality of first distances, and correspondingly, there may be a plurality of second distances, so there may be a plurality of first misalignment values, and the number of the first misalignment values is equal to the number of the first distances and second distances.
- The preset deviation correction amount may be determined based on at least one of the following parameters: national standards, company standards, industry standards, a maximum allowable misalignment amount of coating of A and B surface of an electrode plate in battery manufacturing, empirical values, and on-site manufacturing requirements.
- Typically, in a normal production and manufacturing process, the range of the first misalignment value may be between -1 mm and 1 mm. Excessive deviation correction may lead to a possibility of breakage of the electrode plate substrate. Furthermore, during a deviation correction process, a deviation correction precision is typically 0.1 mm. Therefore, in this embodiment of this application, the at least one preset deviation correction amount may include at least one of the following deviation correction amounts: -0.1 mm, 0.1 mm, -0.2 mm, 0.2 mm, -0.3 mm, 0.3 mm, -0.4 mm, 0.4 mm, -0.5 mm, and 0.5 mm.
- It should be noted that the "+" and "-" in the preset deviation correction amount are not particularly limited in this embodiment of this application. If "+" indicates deviation correction toward a first direction along a TD direction, such as toward the left, "-" indicates deviation correction in a direction opposite to the first direction along the TD direction, such as toward the right. If "+" indicates deviation correction toward a direction opposite to the first direction along the TD direction, such as toward the right, "-" indicates deviation correction toward the first direction along the TD direction, such as toward the left.
- In the above technical solution, setting the at least one preset deviation correction amount to at least one of -0.1 mm, 0.1 mm, -0.2 mm, 0.2 mm, -0.3 mm, 0.3 mm, -0.4 mm, 0.4 mm, -0.5 mm, and 0.5 mm ensures that coating misalignment between the A and B surfaces can be corrected to be within a specification range, also meets the deviation correction precision of the deviation correction mechanism, and reduces a possibility of breakage of the electrode plate substrate.

FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of coating of A and B surfaces.FIG. 2 shows a one-out-of-four material, so the first misalignment value includes four misalignment values. In addition to the one-out-of-four material, generally, a coating production line may alternatively include a one-out-of-two material, a one-out-of-six material, a one-out-of-eight material, a one-out-of-ten material, and a one-out-of-twelve material. - As can be seen from
FIG. 2 , the first distances on the A surface are AL1, AL2, AL3, and AL4, respectively, and the corresponding second distances on the B surface are BL1, BL2, BL3, and BL4, respectively, so the first misalignment value set includes four first misalignment values, namely a = AL1 - BL1, b = AL2 - BL2, c = AL3 - BL3, and d = AL4 - BL4. - Further, in this embodiment of this application, the determining a target deviation correction amount based on the first misalignment value and at least one preset deviation correction amount may include: performing initial deviation correction on the first misalignment value sequentially using the at least one preset deviation correction amount to obtain at least one second misalignment value set, where each of the at least one second misalignment value set is a misalignment value set obtained after performing initial deviation correction on the first misalignment value using a same preset deviation correction amount, and the number of the at least one second misalignment value set is equal to the number of the at least one preset deviation correction amount; and then determining the target deviation correction amount based on the at least one second misalignment value set, the at least one preset deviation correction amount, and the first misalignment value.
- In this technical solution, the performing initial deviation correction on the misalignment value between the two corresponding surfaces using the preset deviation correction amount and then determining the final target deviation correction amount based on the result of the initial deviation correction helps to eliminate inappropriate preset deviation correction amounts, reducing a computational effort required to determine the target deviation correction amount, and thus improving the efficiency of determining the target deviation correction amount and performing deviation correction.
- Each of the at least one second misalignment value set may include at least one second misalignment value, and the number of the at least one second misalignment value included in each second misalignment value set is equal to the number of the first misalignment values.
- For example, it is assumed that at least one preset deviation correction amount includes x1, x2, x3, x4, x5, x6, x7, x8, x9, and x10. First, initial deviation correction is performed on a, b, c, and d using x1 to obtain a 1st second misalignment value set, where the 1st second misalignment value set includes four second misalignment values, namely (a + x1), (b + x1), (c + x1), and (d + x1). Then, initial deviation correction is performed on a, b, c, and d using x2 to obtain a 2nd second misalignment value set, where the 2nd second misalignment value set includes four second misalignment values, namely (a + x2), (b + x2), (c + x2), (d + x2), ..., until ultimately initial deviation correction is performed on a, b, c, and d using x10 to obtain a 10th second misalignment value set, where the tenth second misalignment value set includes four second misalignment values, namely (a + x10), (b + x10), (c + x10), and (d + x10).
- Further, the determining a target deviation correction amount based on at least one second misalignment value set, at least one preset deviation correction amount, and a first misalignment value may include: selecting a second misalignment value with a maximum absolute value from each of the at least one second misalignment value set; then determining a second target misalignment value, where the second target misalignment value is a misalignment value less than a first target misalignment value among at least one second misalignment value with a maximum absolute value, and the first target misalignment value is a misalignment value with a maximum absolute value in the first misalignment value set; and then determining the target deviation correction amount based on a first preset deviation correction amount among the at least one preset deviation correction amount, where the first preset deviation correction amount includes a preset deviation correction amount corresponding to the second target misalignment value.
- Since in the deviation correction process, if the absolute value of the misalignment value after deviation correction is performed using a certain deviation correction amount is greater than that before deviation correction, meaning that deviation increases, and the deviation correction amount is inappropriate. Therefore, in the above technical solution, a misalignment value with an absolute value less than the misalignment value before deviation correction is selected from misalignment values after initial deviation correction and the target deviation correction amount is determined based on the deviation correction amount corresponding to the selected misalignment value, that is, the inappropriate deviation correction amounts are abandoned. This not only reduces a possibility of increasing deviation but also potentially reduces the number of the appropriate deviation correction amounts selected compared to an initially preset number, effectively reducing time for determining the target deviation correction amount and improving the efficiency.
- For another example, a second misalignment value with a maximum absolute value is selected from the 1st second misalignment value set, that is, h1 = max(|a + x1|, |b + x1|, |c + x1|, |d + x1|); a second misalignment value with a maximum absolute value is selected from the 2nd second misalignment value set, that is, h2 = max(|a + x2|, |b + x2|, |c + x2|, |d + x2|), ...; and a second misalignment value with a maximum absolute value is selected from the 10th second misalignment value set, that is, h10 = max(|a + x10|, |b + x10|, |c + x10|, |d + x10|).
- In addition, a misalignment value with a maximum absolute value is selected from the first misalignment value set, and defined as a first target misalignment value, that is, the first target misalignment value f = max(|a|, |b|, |c|, |d|).
- Then, misalignment values less than f are selected from h1, h2, h3, ..., and h10. Assuming that h1, h3, h6, and h8 are less than f, the preset deviation correction amounts corresponding to h1, h3, h6, and h8 are x1, x3, x6, and x8, respectively, and x1, x3, x6, and x8 are collectively referred to as the first preset deviation correction amounts.
- There may be one or a plurality of first preset deviation correction amounts.
- In a case that there is one first preset deviation correction amount, the first preset deviation correction amount may be determined as the target deviation correction amount.
- In the above technical solution, in the case that there is one first preset deviation correction amount, determining the first preset deviation correction amount as the target deviation correction amount not only significantly reduces computational complexity but also results in high accuracy of the determined target deviation correction amount.
- In a case that there are a plurality of first preset deviation correction amounts, a misalignment value set obtained after performing initial deviation correction on a first misalignment value using a first preset deviation correction amount may be selected from a second misalignment value set to obtain at least one second target misalignment value set; and then a target deviation correction amount is determined based on second misalignment values included in each of the at least one second target misalignment value set.
- In this technical solution, determining the target deviation correction amount based on corrected misalignment values obtained after performing initial deviation correction on the misalignment value between the two surfaces using an appropriate deviation correction amount significantly improves accuracy of the determined target deviation correction amount.
- For another example, the 1st second target misalignment value set includes misalignment values obtained after performing initial deviation correction on a, b, c, and d using x1, to be specific, the first second target misalignment value set includes misalignment values a1, b1, c1, and d1, where a1 = a + x1, b1 = b + x1, c1 = c + x1, and d1 = d + x1. The 2nd second target misalignment value set includes misalignment values obtained after performing initial deviation correction on a, b, c, and d using x3, to be specific, the 2nd second target misalignment value set includes misalignment values a2, b2, c2, and d2, where a2 = a + x3, b2 = b + x3, c2 = c + x3, and d2 = d + x3. A 3rd second target misalignment value set includes misalignment values obtained after performing initial deviation correction on a, b, c, and d using x6, to be specific, the 3rd second target misalignment value set includes misalignment values a3, b3, c3, and d3, where a3 = a + x6, b3 = b + x6, c3 = c + x6, and d3 = d + x6. A 4th second target misalignment value set includes misalignment values obtained after performing initial deviation correction on a, b, c, and d using x8, to be specific, the 4th second target misalignment value set includes four misalignment values a4, b4, c4, and d4, where a4 = a + x8, b4 = b + x8, c4 = c + x8, and d4 = d + x8.
- Then, the second misalignment values included in each second target misalignment value set are added to obtain at least one sum of misalignment values, and a first preset deviation correction amount corresponding to a sum of misalignment values with a minimum absolute value among the at least one sum of misalignment values is determined as the target deviation correction amount.
- In the above technical solution, according to a rule that a corrected value approaches 0, meaning that a smaller sum is better, a preset deviation correction amount corresponding to a sum of misalignment values with a minimum absolute value among the sums of misalignment values is determined as a target deviation correction amount, allowing for high accuracy of the determined target deviation correction amount and achieving a good effect after deviation correction performed based on the target deviation correction amount, thereby further improving the battery performance.
- Specifically, the second misalignment values in each second target misalignment value set are added to obtain four sums of misalignment values are obtained, which are respectively y1 = a1 + b1 + c1 + d1, y2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + d2, y3 = a3 + b3 + c3 + d3, and y4 = a4 + b4 + c4 + d4.
- Then, the target deviation correction amount may be determined based on the four sums of misalignment values.
- In an example, a first preset deviation correction amount corresponding to a sum of misalignment values with a minimum absolute value among the four sums of misalignment values may be determined as the target deviation correction amount. For example, if min(|y1|, |y2|, |y3|, |y4|) = y2,the target deviation correction amount is x3.
- In another example, the four sums of misalignment values may be averaged, and a first preset deviation correction amount corresponding to an average number with a minimum absolute value among the average numbers is the target deviation correction amount.
- After the target deviation correction amount is determined, the electrode plate substrate or coating die may be adjusted based on the target deviation correction amount to ensure that the coating misalignment between the A and B surfaces falls within a specification range.
- The following describes a solution of the embodiments of this application using specific examples.
- It is assumed that the first misalignment value set includes 4 first misalignment values, namely 0.05 mm, 0.2 mm, 0.15 mm, and -0.5 mm, and the preset deviation correction amounts include -0.1 mm, 0.1 mm, -0.2 mm, 0.2 mm, -0.3 mm, 0.3 mm, -0.4 mm, 0.4 mm, -0.5 mm, and 0.5 mm.
- First, deviation correction is performed on the four first misalignment values sequentially using the ten preset deviation correction amounts, and a second misalignment value with a maximum absolute value is selected from each obtained second misalignment value set.
- Specifically, after deviation correction is performed on the four first misalignment values using -0.1 mm, a 1st second misalignment value set k1 = (-0.05 mm, 0.1 mm, 0.05 mm, - 0.6 mm) is obtained, and h1 = max(|-0.05 mm|, |0.1 mm|, |0.05 mm|, |-0.6 mm|) = 0.6 mm.
- After deviation correction is performed on the four first misalignment values using 0.1 mm, a 2nd second misalignment value set k2 = (0.15 mm, 0.3 mm, 0.25 mm, -0.4 mm) is obtained, and h2 = max(|0.15 mm|, |0.3 mm|, |0.25 mm|, |-0.4 mm|) = 0.4 mm.
- After deviation correction is performed on the four first misalignment values using - 0.2 mm, a 3rd second misalignment value set k3 = (-0.15 mm, 0 mm, -0.05 mm, -0.7 mm) is obtained, and h3 = max(|-0.15 mm|, |0 mm|, |-0.05 mm|, |-0.7 mm|) = 0.7 mm.
- After deviation correction is performed on the four first misalignment values using 0.2 mm, a 4th second misalignment value set k4 = (0.25 mm, 0.4 mm, 0.35 mm, -0.3 mm) is obtained, and h4 = max(|0.25 mm|, |0.4 mm|, |0.35 mm|, |-0.3 mm|) = 0.4 mm.
- After deviation correction is performed on the four first misalignment values using - 0.3 mm, a 5th second misalignment value set k5 = (-0.25 mm, -0.1 mm, -0.15 mm, -0.8 mm) is obtained, and h5 = max(|-0.25 mm|, |-0.1 mm|, |-0.15 mm|, |-0.8 mm|) = 0.8 mm.
- After deviation correction is performed on the four first misalignment values using 0.3 mm, a 6th second misalignment value set k6 = (0.35 mm, 0.5 mm, 0.45 mm, -0.2 mm) is obtained, and h6 = max(|0.35 mm|, |0.5 mm|, |-0.45 mm|, |-0.2 mm|) = 0.5 mm.
- After deviation correction is performed on the four first misalignment values using - 0.4 mm, a 7th second misalignment value set k7 = (-0.35 mm, -0.2 mm, -0.25 mm, -0.9 mm) is obtained, and h7 = max(|-0.35 mm|, |-0.2 mm|, |-0.25 mm|, |-0.9 mm|) = 0.9 mm.
- After deviation correction is performed on the four first misalignment values using 0.4 mm, an 8th second misalignment value set k8 = (0.45 mm, 0.6 mm, 0.55 mm, -0.1 mm) is obtained, and h8 = max(|0.45 mm|, |0.6 mm|, |0.55 mm|, |-0.1 mm|) = 0.6 mm.
- After deviation correction is performed on the four first misalignment values using - 0.5 mm, a 9th second misalignment value set k9 = (-0.45 mm, -0.3 mm, -0.35 mm, -1 mm) is obtained, and h9 = max(|-0.45 mm|, |-0.3 mm|, |-0.35 mm|, |-1 mm|) = 1 mm.
- After deviation correction is performed on the four first misalignment values using 0.5 mm, a 10th second misalignment value set k10 = (0.55 mm, 0.7 mm, 0.65 mm, 0 mm) is obtained, and h10 = max(|-0.55 mm|, |0.7 mm|, |0.65 mm|, |0 mm|) = 0.7 mm.
- Subsequently, a first target misalignment value in the first misalignment value set f = max(|0.05 mm|, |0.2 mm|, |0.15 mm|, |-0.5 mm|) = 0.5 mm is determined
- It can be seen that h1, h3, h5, h7, h8, h9, and h10 are all greater than f, indicating that deviation correction performed using preset deviation correction amounts of -0.1 mm, -0.2 mm, - 0.3 mm, -0.4 mm, 0.4 mm, -0.5 mm, and 0.5 mm corresponding to h1, h3, h5, h7, h8, h9, and h10 increases deviation, and results in a larger coating misalignment size between the A and B surfaces than that before deviation correction. Therefore, the preset deviation correction amounts of -0.1 mm, -0.2 mm, -0.3 mm, -0.4 mm, 0.4 mm, -0.5 mm, and 0.5 mm corresponding to h1, h3, h5, h7, h8, h9, and h10 are abandoned, while the preset deviation correction amounts of 0.1 mm, 0.2 mm, and 0.3 mm corresponding to h2, h4, and h6 meet the requirements.
- The second misalignment values obtained after deviation correction is performed on the four first misalignment values using 0.1 mm are 0.15 mm, 0.3 mm, 0.25 mm, and -0.4 mm, which are added to obtain a sum y1 = 0.3 mm. The second misalignment values obtained after deviation correction is performed on the four first misalignment values using 0.2 mm are 0.25 mm, 0.4 mm, 0.35 mm, and -0.3 mm, which are added to obtain a sum y2 = 0.7 mm. The second misalignment values obtained after deviation correction is performed on the four first misalignment values using 0.3 mm are 0.35 mm, 0.5 mm, 0.45 mm, and -0.2 mm, which are added to obtain a sum y3 = 1.1 mm.
- According to the rule that a corrected value approaches 0, meaning that a smaller sum is better, the target deviation correction amount is ultimately determined as 0.1 mm.
